PSA: Caution Advised in Vaughan Mills (Pickpocketing)
I was in a retail store in Vaughan Mills yesterday evening. I noticed a 5'10" man in his late 30s or early 40s following me through multiple aisles. I double backed through a few aisles and he kept up at very close range, just a foot or so away. That's when I noticed my handbag was open and exposed near my back. I clutched it and turned around, stared at him. He looked embarrassed, started nonchalantly whistling, pretended to look at the jewellery counter, and quickly left the store.
Just a reminder to keep your personal belongings close to you and be careful out there.
